Tuesday morning, family and friends of murdered North Texas mother Karen Smith had the chance to address her killer in court. Karen Smith was shot to death in a parking garage at UT Southwestern Medical Center in January 2013.

Educators and law enforcement were on high alert today on the lookout for a parent who had threatened violence at a Hurst elementary school. Alexius Tavo was banned from all HEB ISD campuses but showed up at a school anyway.
